/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Out of cosplay, models usually have to sign contracts from photographers, just so these kind of problems don't happen and later can be used in court. If there was no contract, he was not professional about it and deserves to learn this lesson the hard way so next time he'll be sure to have a contract for his models to sign. Some photographers don't care, however it isn't cool regardless to not give credit where it is due. Models are meant to advertise, not steal. It's an amateur mistake on both parts which is probably why she took it down, it's the right thing to do in that kind of situation. You should always ask the photographer first before doing anything.

On the flip side, I also hate when photographers advertise your pictures without consent. Many of them will use them to sell their own things, making money/fans off your image and you were't paid anything for it. Some don't even credit you either! It's the problem with not having a contract, can't really do anything about it if you don't have evidence of an agreement. You've gotta be prepared to handle this kind of crap when you put yourself out there.

In her defense, it's tough looking photoshopped all day at conventions. None of us look our best after sweating all day.
Though she is known to overreact to things after she puts herself out there like that, if anything I dislike her for that, not because of a couple bad shots out of several good ones.

Just try to avoid them and enjoy your con experience as usual.
